Winter Lesson 1

It is hard to believe we are already starting the Winter Quarter!! I hope everyone has gotten their winter notebooks. If not, please stop in and get one in the large group teaching room.

Large group teachers: this week's lesson only calls for one teacher. There is a lot of talking, I would suggest dividing up the script. But, it's up to you. There is also a poem in the script. The more you read it over, the easier it will be on Sunday morning! :-)

We are going to be doing our Christmas songs now. Here is the link to the Christmas music and motions http://www.willowcreek.com/children/music_jumpforjoy.asp

You should be able to click on motions and a pop up window should open. If not, maybe you need to check your securities settings and "allow pop ups" from that website. This will allow you to view the motions.

Large group teachers for Sunday, November 30;
9am Peggy McGee and Dayna DiSanto
10:45am Lorrie and Diana

Songs: Jump for Joy and He Is Born

Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

Reach Up High http://www.willowcreek.com/children/music_reachuphigh.asp

We are going to need to keep all children behind the orange line during whole large group time, including during the singing. We have talked with our Circle of Friends Coordinator, and we have found it is too difficult for the identified children who are part of the circle of friends program to understand the boundaries of when it is and is not appropriate to be up front. So, we ask that only the large group teachers be up front during the songs....Thanks!!!

This is the final lesson of the summer quarter. All of our summer teachers are finished teaching this week....thank you so much for serving this summer!!!

Fall teachers begin next week, Sunday, September 7th!!!! We still have a few spots to fill, if you are interested in serving please see Sally or Bridget.

We also have some spots for serving just one Sunday a month as either a preschool or nursery greeter. Being a greeter would require you to come about 15 minutes before the service and stay for about 15 minutes into the service (8:45-9:15 or 10:30-11:00) You can still make it in for the majority of the service if you are able to serve as a greeter in either the preschool or nursery.

Again, thank you all for serving with the preschool this summer! We hope you were blessed in your time spent serving!!

We also are still in need of some fall teachers. If anyone is interested in continuing to serve in the preschool during the school year, please contact either Sally or Bridget ASAP!!! We can let you know what places to serve are available.

Next Sunday (August 31st) will be the final Sunday for the Summer Serve Sunday School teachers. Sunday, September 7th is the first Sunday of our Fall quarter and the first Sunday for the Fall teachers.

We are also in need of greeters at the preschool sign in table and in both nurseries, so....if you are not able to continue teaching, but would like to serve in some other way, greeting is usually a once a month commitment. Let us know and we can find a place for you to serve :-)

Hope you are all enjoying your week!!

Summer--Lesson 10

Jesus and His Friends Eat Together

9 AM Large Group Teacher--Dayna DiSanto

10:45 AM Large Group Teacher--Kim Blazek

Songs: Having a Good Time; God Gives Us Friends; God is Number One


The lessons this month are the same lesson repeated. This week is emphasizing Jesus and his friends "eating" together. Last week was "learning" together. So, try to ask questions or start discussions about times the kids "eat" with others.

"There are lots of fun things we can do with our friends...one of the things is to eat with them!! When do you eat with your friends? What kinds of foods do you like to eat with your friends?"

This unit is laying the foundation for the calling of the 12 diciples and Jesus' teaching of them.

Can you believe we are already on Lesson 10 of the Summer!?!? Thank you so much for serving in our preschool at FBC!! The fall session will begin September 7th. Our summer curriculum goes through August 31st.

Hope your week is going great!!

Welcome Baby Whitmer!!!

DO NOT CALL THE CHURCH!!!! The voice mail does not always get checked right away.

If you have any questions, concerns, or comments, please stop one of us and let us know! Thank you for serving with our preschoolers!

Summer 2008!!!

Welcome to Preschool Promiseland Summer 2008!!!

We have all new small group teachers and new large group teachers, so this week might be a little confusing for you all! I'll try to explain our schedule so you have a little heads up.

The children will come to your classrooms to begin the morning. There are some ideas for Activity Stations in the back of your notebooks. You can use any of these as "coming in" activities. There are also puzzles in the cabinets. If you need to xerox any copies for coloring pictures, there is a machine in the resource room (we can give you the combination if the door is locked.)

At about 9:15 you will bring your class into the Large Group room for the Large Group Teach. This will last about 25 minutes. Please sit with your class. The children need to sit behind the orange line in the carpet (they know this.) There are usually 3 songs, please stand with the children and participate......you'll catch on quickly!! :-)

At the end of the Large Group teaching the teacher will pray. We would like the Large Group Teacher to say one line, then the children and small group teachers to echo the large group teacher. For example....
Dear God......Dear God
Thank you for making everything!
Thank you for making everything!
In Jesus' Name,
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
Amen

After the prayer the small group leaders will gather their class and return to their classrooms. Back in the classrooms you will do the "Summer Group" activity. This week it is the "Matching Game." You will find the game in the bin labeled for your class on the counter in the classroom. It will be in a folder labeled with the hour ( for example: 9am 3 year olds week 1)

After the game you can do snack, there is a written prayer in the curriculum you can use, or you can just make up your own.

If time allows you can complete the take home page, and also make sure each child gets a sticker to wear with the Key Concept "God Made Everything!"

You can go outside if the weather is nice. There are outdoor toys under the awning. There is sidewalk chalk in most of the cupboards, and also bubbles.

When giving the parents the take home sheets, please show them the side that has the discussion questions and encourage them to talk with their child about what was learned in Promiseland this week. encourage the child to do the motions for "God Made Everything!"

If you have ANY questions please look for Sally or Bridget!!! Thank you so much for serving.....you are going to love it!! :-)


9am Large Group Susan and John Kautz

Please be in prayer as we seek those who are feeling the call to serve in the preschool this summer. Thank you all for your dedication to serving the Lord and instilling Biblical truths in our littlest ones at FBC!!!

9 am Large Group Teachers: Dayna and Courtney

10:45am Large Group Teachers: Sarah and Dawn (welcome back!!!)

Songs: Having a Good Time, Dance, Shout & Sing, and Jesus is the Best, Oh Yes!


A Change!!!! When the large group teacher prays at the end of the lesson, we would like the prayer to be an "echo" prayer. The large group teacher will say the first line, then the children and small group teachers will "echo" the large group teacher. This was one thing we observed at Willow Creek, and we thought it was a really great idea. It's a great way to model and teach the children to pray!!

ALSO........this is the week that Pastor Ed Holt will be starting his position as the new Children's Pastor at FBC. Please look for him and introduce yourself if you get a chance. Be sure to let him know you are part of our awesome Preschool Promiseland Team!!!! :-)

Thank you all SO MUCH for your continued dedication to the children of FBC!! You are so wonderful to work with! We are blessed!

April 20th and 27th** And an Announcement

If you are reading our preschool blog, then you will have a jump on this Sunday's announcement........the Children's Ministry team received an email from our current leader, Tish, this week, with this excerpt in it....

"I am excited to report that FBC officially has a new Pastor of Children's Ministry! On Tuesday, April 15th I was given the news at our staff meeting that Ed Holt has accepted FBC's ministry position as our new Children's pastor."

and....

"*Ed will officially start @ FBC on Sunday, May 4th. FBC plans to introduce him and his family to the congregation during worship during both services with a "MEET -n-GREET" reception in the atrium after each service (much like "meet the elders" event we have had in the past). Ed’s family has plans to join him in Chagrin Falls in early June. (The Holt children will be finishing up school in Marion in May.)
*FBC will announce Ed as our next Children's pastor this Sunday during the services and provide general information from his resume in order for the congregation to know a little more about him."

Ed was able to observe our wonderful preschool program on two occasions. He saw both the 9am and 10:45 teaching times. We look forward to introducing you all to him in the near future!

On to our regular business!!! :-)

Welcome!! We would like to use this blog to keep everyone updated on what is happening in the preschool at FBC. Each week we will try to post who is teaching, what lesson we are on, and what songs we will be doing. We also can post any "needs" we may have for props. Some of the things are difficult to find!! I know we will be needing an inflatable boat in a future unit.......anyone have one????

The new Promiseland Spring Quarter starts this Sunday, March 16th. If you have not gotten your new notebook for the Spring Quarter, please stop in and pick it up this Sunday. If you teach this Sunday and need it before Sunday morning, you can stop at the church to pick up the notebook. The notebooks are in the large group teaching room. See Delene (in the office) and she can let you into the room to get a notebook. They are in boxes labeled "large" or "small" group. Please bring us your old notebooks, we are trying to keep them to recycle for upcoming years.

Sunday, March 16th is Lesson one of the Spring unit. It is Palm Sunday, and will be a lesson about Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. There are only two songs this week, both are songs we have done. The first is "The Happy Dance" and the second is "Jesus is the Best, Oh Yes!" (Unfortunately, yes, it's back again!!!! :-) Maybe we'll get it right this time!!!!!)

First service Large Group teachers are: Susan Kautz and Lesley Crabb

Second service Large Group teachers are: Lori DiGiampietro and....hubby??

We need to know who our second teacher is for EASTER SUNDAY FIRST SERVICE?? We have Susan Kautz as one teacher.

We also need a second teacher for FIRST SERVICE FIFTH SUNDAY. We have Lesley Crabb as one teacher.

I believe you can post comments to this blog....so if you can teach one of those Sundays, feel free to leave that as a comment, if you have a question, you can also leave it as a comment.

Thank you all for all you do. Our preschool program is AWESOME and it is because of all of you and what you all do!!!!!

We are Blessed to be serving Him with you!!!
Sally and Bridget
